Ode to Ada Lovelace

Ode to Ada Lovelace

An Analytical Machine created
By the spawn of poetic genius
Holy Grail of our current age

Programming in high school
Zero period of senior year
Then poetry at university
Don Juans like Byron himself

Why didn't anyone tell me
About his daughter
"The Enchantress of Numbers"
Now, she's rad.

poetry?
I want to write
Programs.

So there.
